New Bo Bunny Papers Just In

We have just received a new load of Bo Bunny papers.


There are lots of new papers including the Petal Pusher, Peacock Lane and Sun Kissed ranges, so why not pop in and have a look at them all.  Better not leave it too long though as some of them are barely out of the box before they are sold!

Kitty Krafts Crop

Thank you to all who came along to the Crop today. It was good to see you all and to see the projects you are working on.  I'm looking forward to seeing them again when they are completed.

Nermal

I'm very sad to have to tell you all that Nermal, one our two cats, was run over on Thursday.  Sadly there was nothing that could be done as she'd died instantly.  I don't know who had handed her into the local Vet but we are both grateful as we can now take care of her ourselves.

We'd also like to say thank you to the Abbey Veterinary Practice in Forfar, Thrums Veterinary Practice in Forfar and Kirriemuir, and the local branch of The Cats protection League, who have all been very helpful when we were trying to find her.

Who Nicked The Sun!

Great! Our Kanban Demo Day and it's piddling down.  All the more reason to shelter in Kitty Krafts though, and watch the free Demo.

Louise is busy beavering away with card samples, including some lovely men's cards like this easel card.

Why not pop in and see the other cards she's making

Distress Inks Workshop

We had a Distress Inks Workshop recently.  One of our more distant Kitty Krafters was coming up on holiday from Essex and asked if we could put on a couple of classes for her while she was here.










The result was a small Workshop that ran from 10.30 a.m. - 4.30 p.m. one Sunday a couple of weeks back.

(We are always happy to arrange special Workshops or classes for those who maybe can't attend our regular classes. Just give us a ring and we can sort something out.)

Here are some pictures from the Workshop, including some of the projects they were all doing.

We are planning on having another Workshop around September so keep an eye on the Blog for more details nearer the time.

Samples from Debbi's ProMarker Demo Day

Here are some pictures of the samples from Debbi's ProMarker Demo Day.  Apologies for the delay in posting for them, there was a 'Technical Hitch' as they say on the TV.  (In other words, someone put them somewhere safe and forgot where!)

Off-Roading Again!

We spent Thursday afternoon at the Land Rover Experience at Dunkeld yet again.  This time we were sampling the delights of the Range Rover Sport TDV6, a snip at only £52,390!

It was a lovely day, with the sun burning down (quite literally as I was distinctly red at the end of the day!).  Before we left we were shown a day-old deer, hidden amongst the long grass in the off-road area.  All that could be seen were two ears sticking up and it could just be seen with the aid of strong binoculars.  No-one was allowed any closer for fear of disturbing it.

Off we set with the air-conditioning on maximum, heading up the A9, turning off towards Dalguise, before looping round and returning to the A9 at Ballinluig.  After that it was back to the LRE Centre and onto the off-roading part.

First thing we did was to check the young deer again, as we drove slowly past the bottom of the hill it was hiding on. Still there and seemed to be okay so on we went.

After getting used to the vehicle's astonishing ability to go up and down seemingly impossible slopes again it was on to something different, the rock crawl.  They have a section of rather large rocks and boulders that need two people to get the vehicle across safely, one to drive and one to direct. Ross got out to do the directing, while I sat in air-conditioned comfort watching him and our Instructor, Rob, slowly cook in the sun. It was only a short distance to go but took several minutes as I slowly trickled the Sport forward, turning the wheel when directed, literally inching forward as Ross made sure I didn't damage anything underneath.  Rob was also busy making sure that Ross didn't make any expensive mistakes!

Boulder section clear and we were off into the forest section where it was at least a little more shady. Up and down slopes, squeezing round trees, and enjoying the sight of deer and other wildlife amongst the trees.  It makes a nice change to see a forest with different trees from the all too common pine trees seen nowadays.

Sadly it was soon time to head back to the Centre, but not before having to wait for some of the local deer herd to lazily move out of the way.  They had decided to use the track as a resting place and, while Land Rovers can go virtually anywhere, there are some limits!

Again a big 'Thank You' to all the staff at the Land Rover Experience Centre at Dunkeld ( Tel: +44 (0)844 848 4455 )  who made our latest visit such an enjoyable experience. Also a big 'Thank You' to Land Rover Ltd. who have been so good at letting me loose in their fantastic vehicles. They really are The Best 4x4 By Far.

The ProMarker Expert is here

Debbi is here and busy beavering away with her ProMarkers. She has loads of samples with her and is steadily producing more, so why not pop in and watch her at work

July Craft Stamper now in

We now have the July issue of Craft Stamper in.  (And  for those  of you who  are thinking, it can't be a month by already, fear not.  The last issue was late reaching us so it is only a couple of  weeks since it arrived.)

There are lots  of lovely projects in the July issue including one using the free seashell stamp, so why not pop in and pick  up your copy today.  Essential reading during that football event
